Shear stress at different points of beam

In summary, the conversation is discussing how to calculate shear stress at point F and point G using the formula $$ \tau = VQ/It $$. The maximum shear force is calculated to be 205kN and Ixx = 2.1x10^-4. The calculation for Q at point F and point G are shown, but there is uncertainty about the correctness of the values for Q and t. It is suggested to check the web thickness for vertical shear stress at the horizontal cut at point G and take a vertical cut for horizontal shear stress determination at point F.

Homework Statement


i'm not sure how to calculate the shear stress at point F and point G . I know that shear stress has formula of $$ \tau = VQ/It $$

The maximum shear force that i calculated earlier is V = 205kN , Ixx = 2.1x10^-4

for Q at $$\tau$$ at F , i have (205x10^3)(260x10^-3)(50x10^-3)(98.5-25)(10^-3) / (2.1x10^-4)(260x10^-3)

for Q at $$\tau$$ at G , i have (205x10^3)(250x10^-3)(50x10^-3)(50+125-98.5)(10^-3) / (2.1x10^-4)(260x10^-3)

Is my ans correct ?

At G, you should be looking at the web thickness for vert shear stress at horiz cut, otherwise ok. At F , however, you should be taking a vertical cut for horiz shear stress determination.
 

What is shear stress?

Shear stress is a type of stress that occurs when a force is applied parallel to the surface of an object, causing the layers of the object to slide past each other.

How is shear stress calculated?

Shear stress is calculated by dividing the force applied to an object by the cross-sectional area of the object.

What is the relationship between shear stress and beam shape?

The shape of a beam can affect the distribution of shear stress along its length. Beams with a larger cross-sectional area or more support in the center tend to have lower shear stress compared to beams with smaller cross-sectional areas or less support.

How does shear stress affect the strength of a beam?

High shear stress can weaken a beam and potentially cause it to fail. Therefore, it is important to consider the shear stress at different points of a beam when designing structures.

What factors can affect shear stress at different points of a beam?

The main factors that can affect shear stress at different points of a beam include the magnitude and direction of the applied force, the shape and size of the beam, and the material properties of the beam.
